Libby Cyphers By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Libby Cyphers of East Dallas looks forward to summer and the fresh produce her husband, G. Robert, grows in a large garden every year. “It’s a lot of work canning and freezing all of the vegetables, but there’s nothing like the vegeta- bles fresh from the garden,” said Libby. Zucchini, pickles, corn, toma- toes, carrots, onions, name it and Libby has either frozen it or canned it. She also makes loaf after loaf of zucchini bread and freezes it for future use. Libby enjoys cooking, but baking is her favorite in the preparation of food, especially when she is making goodies for her two grandsons, Jeff, a junior high student, and John, now in senior high. Both boys live nearby with their parents, Jack and Betty Jean Mokychic, and often come to help their grand- father in the garden. They also help their grandmother by pick- ing the produce as it ripens. Libby’s husband is retired, but Libby is employed at Gino’s Shoe Store where she has worked for the past 14 years. Libby’s son, Bob, is still living at home and looks forward to his mother’s home-cooked foods. Like his dad, Bob enjoys the various desserts, his mother pre- pares. Libby’s favorite pastime is bowling. She is a member of the Tuesday night’s Ladies Country League where she ranks among the top 10. This week Libby shares some of her family’s favorite recipes with Post readers. Her Zucchini Pancakes are so light they melt in your mouth.

When it comes to picnicking, most health-conscious men and women, who should know better, find them- selves indulging in the usual fatty, fried foods. This summer, forget the hot dog and hamburger routine and try something different — a health picnic menu. For example, serve crispy baked salad instead of a mayonnaise based salad that will spoil in the sun; a green salad tossed with buttermilk herb dressing, and to top it off, a crunch apply cobbler instead of a high sugar, high-calorie dessert. The following recipes from “Eat Well, Be Well,” the nutrition and cooking series on public television sponsored by Metropolitan Life, demonstrates that good taste and healthy meals need not be mutually exclusive.

Summer is also the time when we get to enjoy the tremendous bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables that make eating so delicious and heart-heal- thy. For years, the American Heart Association and its Northeast Penn- sylvania Chapter have been educat- ing the public on the importance of eating heart-healthy foods, weight control and the fundamental princi- ples of proper nutrition and food preparation. The Heart Association stresses these topics so heavily because our research has shown that proper nutrition is one of the most modifia- ble risk factors involved in cardiov- ascular diseases, diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Annually, these diseases kill nearly one mil- lion Americans, making them the leading cause of death in the nation. With this in mind and with warm weather and summer’s plenty now available, it seems like an ideal time to begin eating healthier foods. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken and other poul- try and fish are both nutritious and easy to prepare away from home. You'll find that many of these foods are perfect for snacks, garnishes and even as main dishes at picnics, baseball games and other summer activities. And while proper nutrition should i be everyone's concern, it should be of even greater concern to those people with hypertension, or. high blood pressure. Ve rr Cornell Iron Works, staff. John R.
